"Desanka
Maksimovic" National Library, Lopare
The library in Lopare dates back to 1936, when
the first one was founded, with a meager fund of books, but sufficient
to enlighten the population of these parts.
 The
present National Library, bearing the name of the greatest Serbian
poetess, Desanka Maksimoviĉ, was estabilished in 1955, with only
375 books provided, but with a readreship far exceeding the available
books - 501 people took membership. Somewhat better administration
was introduced in 1958, when the 728 books of the library were transferred
to the cinema. That year us taken as the official founding of the
library in Lopare.
Following the then organisation of cultural
organisations, the library was part of so-called National University,
where, because of the heterogenity of its activity, it could not
attain to its rightful significance.
 Better
times came with 1992, and the Desanka Maksimovic National Library
now exists as an independent institution with 13,725 catalogued
items and 4,492 titles. It has 627 members - most of them pupils
and students - but also including workers, pensioners and farmers.
